Drive Him Home

(Album: At Now - 2017)

We were strangers
Side-by-side
My car was big
And I knew he needed a ride
A man of two truths
Ashamed to shout
So I fell in love with him
On both sides of his mouth

And I said
Amen Amen Amen Amen

Something
Told me not to run
Said I'd be the one
I'd be the one
I'd be the one
I'd be the one to drive him home

He feared he'd
Fallen in love
Said I was everything
That he'd been dreaming of
He crawled inside me
To my core
And pointed north
To stars I'd never seen before

And I said
Amen Amen Amen Amen

Something
Told me not to run
Said I'd be the one
I'd be the one
I'd be the one
To touch him
Like he was my own
And I'd drive him home
I'd drive him home
I'd drive him home
I'd be the one to drive him

I don't wanna have him
Just to hold
I want a ring of fire
He's got a ring of gold
But he don't wanna have me
Just to hold
He wants a ring of fire
I want his word of gold
And I won't mind
Playing with fire
When we're on an up and up
We can uphold

I would ride with him
All life long
But I wouldn't share it
For a story or a song
His eyes pled "don't leave"
But I knew best
And even though it burns
Like battery acid in my chest

Something
Told me I should run
Said I'd be the one
I'd be the one
I'd be the one
To love him
More than my need to own
And I'd drive him home
I'd drive him home
I'd drive him home

I won't be
Waiting like a stone
No they won't know
I drove him home
I drove him home
But if someday
My bird has flown
If my light's still on
My windows drawn
And I'm alone
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one to drive him home
